Yeah, although for me, it's becoming increasingly unclear whether the benefits of the internet outweigh its drawbacks...

OpenAI is trying to clamp down on β€˜bias’ in ChatGPT GPT-5 is better at resisting liberal β€˜pressure,’ the company says.

Centralising the internet to a few dozen services that decide what you see and with whom you interact stifled the internet's potential to be something that brings society forward. Chatbots and LLMs will weaponise it.

One thing I could do without is checking the text that I wrote to make sure it isn't classified as being "AI" written. It already happened a few times that this actually happened, especially when describing an experiment...

I was always put off by the prevailing libertarianism in these circles. I think what moved them into really dangerous territory was when technocracy and some twisted tech-utopianism came increasingly into the mix.

Video generation is exactly what we neededβ€”another way to burn down the planet. Energy consumption estimates for generating a 16 fps 30s video from earlier this year are about 1kWh.

The computer science kids are not alright. They want to work for big tech.
